Ole Miss Replaces Lane Kiffin With Pete Golding Ahead of Top-25 Opener

Summary
Pete Golding takes over Ole Miss after Lane Kiffin left for LSU, putting the coaching change at the center of the Rebels' ranked opener against Louisville.
Trinidad Chambliss gives Ole Miss some offensive continuity, with only 3 transfer starters on that side of the ball despite the new staff.
Defense is the bigger question: only 4 Ole Miss defensive starters return, raising the risk of early-season breakdowns as the unit adjusts.
The matchup pits Louisville's transfer-heavy offense against that rebuilt defense, making Ole Miss's post-Kiffin transition an immediate test.
